Slip Days Policies

Each assignment has a due date and a due time, which will be posted on the course web page. For some assignments we will use a system of "slip days" to give you some flexibility with the assignment deadlines. Each person starts the term with five slip days, which can be used to push back assignment deadlines. Slip days work as follows:

Pushing an assignment deadline back by one day (24 hours) costs each person in a group one of their slip days. If one or more group members don't have enough slip days left, then the group can't slip.
An assignment deadline can be pushed back at most 3 days.
Partial slip days are not allowed, e.g., it is not possible to use part of a slip day to push a deadline back by 6 hours.
Slip days are not transferable from one student to another.

Assignments that are submitted late (with no slip days to cover them) will not be accepted and will receive a mark of 0%.

Click on this button to determine the number of slip days your group has left to use. (This is the minimum of the number of slip days available to each of the group's members, since slipping by one day costs each group member one slip day.)
